Try a Filter on the Fuel Economy Survey

I just tried a filter on the fuel economy survey for the Type R. I have extracted the bits I found most interesting below. Is easy to do the filter yourself for the full results (49 type R owners completed the survey).

How did you run the car in?
Very gentle, went on motorways - 12.24%
Gentle, avoided motorways - 4.08%
Bursts of full throttle, some motorways - 44.90%
Bursts of full throttle, no motorways (mototune method). - 16.33%
Thrashed it hard from day one - 20.41%
Don't know (second owner, poor memory etc)- 2.04%

Economy you see on the car computer, when the driving was on:
An equal mix of town and motorway / main roads? (Miles per Imperial gallon)
24- 4.17%
25- 6.25%
26- 4.17%
27- 10.42%
28- 18.75%
29- 2.08%
30- 18.75%
31- 6.25%
32- 4.17%
33- 6.25%
34- 4.17%
35- 2.08%

How much oil do you use?
Lots. Need regular top ups - 4.08%
Some. 2 to 4 top ups between services - 12.24%
Hardly any. One or no top ups between services - 83.67%
